Jacksonville Suns Information

Longtime Jacksonville Suns owner Peter Bragan Sr. will be inducted into the Southern League Hall of Fame.

Bragan, who bought the Suns in 1984, died in 2012 at 89.

“When Daddy bought the team in Jacksonville, it was what somewhat of a floundering franchise. Attendance was down, and the stadium was in rough shape,” Suns president and owner Peter Bragan Jr. said in a statement released by the team Tuesday. “Through his efforts, Jacksonville became one of the crown jewels of the Southern League. I’m very proud of everything he accomplished, and I’m trying to carry on his tradition with the Suns today.”
